MMA is the greatest sport in the world...I believe it will eventually be the most watched sporting event (world wide)....soccer will always be #1 over there...football will always be #1 over here....But I think on a world wide scale MMA will dominate in less than 10 years from now....
-

Your too much Jamie.....I love the sport also, but you're getting very defensive over something that you have no part of beside ordering a PPV and inviting kids over with no knowledge of the sport, so you can look cool screaming out moves and fighters names! hahahaha!

Tell that to Fedor....a devout Christian.

parents don't want their kids doing MMA...
trying to acquire the late teens and early 20s whom have inferiority complexes on a mass scale is a very difficult task in creating grassroots...

Ive said this before, I'll sat it again. Both bodybuildingand MMA base is insecure young men, often white surburban, who either didn't have the talent for school sports, or didont so well a ademically. Becuase of this and their angst to yet prove themselves to society they use these two avenues to acheive that, yet believing that the culture that they seek approval from is not "hard".
If anything, MMA growth is a sign that American males have truly lost their way. Women, now are becoming the bread winners in American Households, more women college , law school, and grad school than men, and what are the men doing? Arguing what women want on bodybuilding boards and discussing tiny tits in Tapout shirts...that is exactly what women were doing 15-20 yrs ago. Asking what men want and discussing boob status and what it takes to be a woman.
Men get your balls back.

MMA has already jumped the shark. Did it in Japan years ago and seems to be heading down that path here. No chance whatsoever it becomes the biggest sport in the world. Is it even bigger than K-1 at this point? K-1 is global. The UFC isn't.
Millionaire cage fighters? Look at the UFC payouts. Anyone who isn't a belt holder or big name makes jack shit. Months of training and risk of severe bodily injury for $10,000? ::)

Marciano .... Ali .... Tyson ..... the next huge legend in heavyweight boxing is due, one every 20-30 years, and when he comes, this will re-ignite the next generations interest in the greatest prize in sport - the heavyweight champion of the world, and get the kids from the ghetto etc interested in boxing again.
And no, I dont think it is David Haye, but it wont be long now ..

True.....but the majority of the supporters are 3rd worlders, so they don't really count.

But even if you take out the 3rd worlders - soccer is still practised and followed by more people than say, NFL or baseball.

this is correct...boxers make significantly more money now....but that doesn't mean it will always be that way....and even if for some reason it did stay that way that doesn't mean anything...MMA is already more popular than boxing....But as I've said I'm not talking about were MMA is now I'm just voicing my opinion on were it will be in 10 years....
Marciano .... Ali .... Tyson ..... the next huge legend in heavyweight boxing is due, one every 20-30 years, and when he comes, this will re-ignite the next generations interest in the greatest prize in sport - the heavyweight champion of the world, and get the kids from the ghetto etc interested in boxing again.
And no, I dont think it is David Haye, but it wont be long now ..
I hope he does come...I don't understand why people don't think boxing and MMA can't coexist...However It is less likely to happen these days as opposed to in the past for numerous reasons.

You ever hear the story when Nick and Riggs both went to the ER after their fight and got into another fight at the hospital cause Nick told Riggs he couldn't come on his side of the ER...LOL!... I guess Riggs IV got torn out and he was leaking all over the place.

Nick Diaz lost a hard-fought decision against Joe ‘The Diesel’ Riggs at UFC 57: ‘Liddell vs Couture 3.’ Riggs gave his account of what took place last Saturday night between the two, in and out of the octagon. Nick Diaz recently spoke with MMAWeekly Radio and told his version of the story.
MMAWeekly: You guys throw down in the ring for three rounds, and then you throw down after. What happened at the hospital?
Nick Diaz: I told him, if you come over here, I’m going to beat your f#%king ass. You know what I mean?
MMAWeekly: He said you’re the one that provoked it. You’re saying he’s the one that provoked it?
Diaz: I walked into the hospital talking sh#t. I had already talked sh#t after the fight. After the fight, I went in the back, and I was all, f#%k you, you f#%king bitch. I’ll fight you all night. He was over here talking to a bunch of people and stuff, and I was like, f#%k you. He was all, f#%k you. I won. He’s all this and that. He goes, go back to the WEC motherf#%ker. I go into the hospital, right? As soon as I walk into the door with my brother, this motherf#%ker is strapped to a God d#%n gurney. Okay? I’m like, what the f#%k? I’m like, why are you strapped to a God d#%n gurney?
I wouldn’t even have gone to the hospital, first of all. If I win a fight, I don’t even care if I need stitches. I ain’t going to no f#%king hospital. I’ve got a press conference and all of that stuff. I would have taken care of that sh#t first. So anyway, he’s in the hospital, getting his big steroided ass a f#%king IV or whatever. Right when I walk in there, he is looking at me and he is strapped to a gurney. He was all strapped in, and I walked into my room. He was all, whatever. F#%k you. I won. He goes, go back to the WEC. He was all like, go back to the WEC. I was like, f#%k you, you f#%king bitch. I’ll was, I’ll still fight you, you little bitch ass. I said, you don’t want to fight me right now. You’ll get your f#%king ass whooped. The put me over in a little room, and he’s over standing with Billy Rush, or whoever the hell he was, his partner on the whole other side of the hospital. You know what I mean? There was like a nurses station and the emergency doors, right in front of the nurses station, and a little office room next to that. On his side, that’s the hallway, in between the door and the nurses station.
MMAWeekly: Right.
Diaz: I’m in one room at the end of the hall, and he is at the other in of the hall with a bunch of people. He walked all the way down. I don’t know if they sent him over there to get something from the nurses station. You know, because I was a little bit closer to the nurses station. I don’t know if they sent him over there, or if he walked over there close to my room, by my room. When he did, he walked all the way over to my room, and I was like, what the f#%k are you doing over here?
Do you want to get your ass whooped or what? I was all, I didn’t even say that. I started talking sh#t to him when walked over to my room. He was talking sh#t to me too, so I wasn’t going to sit there in my room. I got up out of my room, walked out of my room, and I was like, what’s up bitch. He threw up his hands and started doing his little Joe Riggs dance around and sh#t. I f#%king knocked him down. Then he got up and started trying to take me down. I turned him around. I put double under-hooks because he had a single leg. I put both my arms under his. I turned him because I’m hopping on one leg. So I hopped him on one leg, and I hopped him into the little office right next to the doors. You know, where the emergency doors open? You can’t get in, but you can get out unless you are an ambulance or whatever. I would have hopped him through those doors; I should have hopped him through those doors and outside, should have taken it outside. But I hopped him into this room and I started punching him in his face up against this wall in this room.
And then the f#%king security ran in and grabbed me. I stopped fighting the security and sh#t. I was like, all right, all right, all right. I’m sorry. I’m sorry because they were about to tase us or some sh#t. Seriously, they were going to tase us. The cops came in. I figured the cops would have arrested us, but they were Nick Diaz fans or whatever. One of them got an autograph. They were like, hell no I’m not arresting this guy. He’s my favorite fighter. I couldn’t believe it. We were in Vegas, so I figured that is the reason why. I signed some autographs for the police. He was like, get your brother man. Get your brother man. Get your brother man, please. He was like, get your brother man. He’s crazy. I’m like, f#%k you. He walked over to my side of the hospital, though. I didn’t walk over there to his side of the hospital and try to fight him. I stayed on my side of the hospital. I stayed in my room. Okay?
MMAWeekly: Some people are going to say that you should have walked away in the hospital.
Diaz: I should have, but you know what I’m saying? He shouldn’t have came over talking sh#t. He’s the one who put his hands up, tried to fight me. I ain’t no bitch. You know what I’m saying?
MMAWeekly: You felt provoked and that is why you did your thing?
Diaz: Yea. I ain’t no bitch. You know what I mean? That’s why I said I’ll fight him all night. I’d fight him right now. If he were here, I’d fight him right now.
MMAWeekly: Nick, aren’t you worried about what the UFC will do now? Aren’t you worried that you could be kicked out because of this incident?
Diaz: I didn’t start it. How the f#%k did I start that sh#t?
MMAWeekly: But people are going to say, Nick, walk away.
Diaz: He came to my side of the hospital. He came all the way and walked over to me. How am I going to walk away? Walk away? If anything, I was cornered. I came out of a room and he was right there outside of a door. It was a small room, an office type of room. You know those rooms they sit you in that’s got a little thing that lays down with a paper over it?
MMAWeekly: Right.
Diaz: I was in one of those rooms. He didn’t have a room. He was at the other end of the hall with a bunch of curtains and sh#t, way, way, way down. He walked all the way over. He knew better than to come over by me. He knows I’m f#%king nuts. He knows I’m crazy like that.
MMAWeekly: You’re crazy doing that man.
Diaz: I didn’t do it. That’s what I’m saying. You know what I mean? Think about it. I didn’t do sh#t.
Trigg: Nick, do you take medication?
Diaz: No. I don’t take no f#%king medication. Come on man.
Trigg: Seriously. This is you? This is it every day, all day long?
Diaz: No. Check it out. I just got a little amped up because a buddy of mine called me up and said everyone is talking about me on the radio. I don’t call the f#%king radio. I could give a sh#t. I’m just doing my thing and using my free time to do whatever I want to do. I don’t get much free time, but right now I’m hearing a bunch of sh#t. People are talking about me on the radio, so I decided to give you guys a call.
MMAWeekly: We got Joe Riggs account of what happened . . .
Diaz: What’s his name said something about a urinal. I was in the bathroom or whatever. I’ve never been in a bathroom with him. I’ve never been in a bathroom with him. The only other time I was close enough to Joe Riggs is when we were walking through that long hallway at Mandalay Bay. You know that one where they send you to the convention center? You know you’re going to see your fricken opponent walking through that long ass hallway. He gets all nerve wrecked on the way through walking with Tim Sylvia. I’m just walking with my brother. You know what I mean?
MMAWeekly: Right.
-
Diaz: He starts talking to us, and I’m like, I don’t want to talk to him. The fights are tomorrow. I’d talk to him any other time, so I just keep walking. All I said was, because he had said something to me, so I just said, are you going to make the weight? He said, yea. I said, I’ll see you. He was like, I’ll see you. I’ll see you. He was all talking sh#t all the way down the hall. That’s what started it. I would have never said nothing to him. All I asked was if he was going to make the weight. At the weigh-ins, he comes walking. He always comes walking right over by me. I’m like, dude, don’t even come by me. I’m like, I ain’t going to move. I’m standing in the stairway. He comes walking through the stairway. Of course, I give him a little dirty look.
That probably wasn’t the nicest thing to do. Maybe I shouldn’t have given him a dirty look, but I gave him a dirty look. He goes, what the f#%k are you looking at bitch? I said, f#%k you, you f#%king bitch. Get slapped right here motherf#%ker because he was right there at the weigh-ins. I was like, get slapped right here because he was talking sh#t to me. I was talking sh#t to him. Every since then, I don’t especially like him because we had words I guess. I’m not a f#%king crazy guy. I don’t take medication. I just train hard. I just get pissed off. You know what I mean?
MMAWeekly: Nick, you can’t be throwing down at a hospital.
Diaz: What do you want me to do?
Trigg: Shut the door. There is a door on the room. Shut the door.
Diaz: Yea. Shut the door on him. Right on, Okay, but I was pissed off.
MMAWeekly: Nick, take us through this fight. Obviously we know what happened after the fight, but were you disappointed? Did you think you won the fight?
Diaz: You know something? That’s how I got started fighting too. It wasn’t because I was a wrestler . . . I didn’t start fighting because I was an athletic wrestler. I got lucky to have a little bit of athleticism in me. I started fighting because I got in fights in highschool. I didn’t go very good in highschool. I got into a few fights. I had a girlfriend in highschool, and people would give me sh#t. I would get into fights. At my highschool people were fighting a lot. It was like a thing or something. That’s how I got started.
I wanted to learn how to fight. I figured that everybody would want to learn how to fight, but it seemed like everybody else was stupid to it. I was the only one who wanted to learn how to fight. I started choking people, and that’s what got me started fighting. That is where it comes from. That’s how it started, me fighting. It was a fight, fight. Nothing changes. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even have had words with the guy. Yea, shut the door on him. Right on, but I ain’t no bitch.
MMAWeekly: How did you learn Jiu-Jitsu so well, and so quick?
Diaz: Steve Heath started teaching me Jiu-Jitsu. He noticed that I was there everyday training. I learned a triangle choke, and I started choking big ol’ steroided people that were big and all about working out and thought they could kick everyone’s ass. I would choke them and I was only fifteen. I was choking big ol’ dudes. I would tell all of my friends, and they were like, yea, right. Yea, right. They didn’t pay no attention to me, but I just thought it was cool. I couldn’t believe that I had the capability to do something like that. I didn’t know that it was possible to actually learn how to fight. I thought it was always chance, always the stronger guy. You don’t know. I watched the UFC. I saw Royce Gracie triangle choke someone. When I heard there was something like that close to where I was, I hit it up.
I went right in there and started working out there. It was a gym. I didn’t sign up for the gym and see the classes. I heard about the class, went there, signed up at the gym for the classes they had there. They had like a Shamrock 2000. Steve Heath was training there. After training there for a little while, Steve Heath was about to fight Chuck Liddell, so I started training with him for that fight. I trained more than he did for that fight.
MMAWeekly: Nick, here is the deal. We love the way you fight, but we don’t want to see you kicked out of the UFC. That’s all we are saying.
Diaz: Why would I get kicked out of the UFC for that, though? Why not him? He won. Why didn’t he stay the hell away from me? You guys are telling me to shut the door like I started and all this sh#t, like I’m the big trouble maker. He won the fight. He should be happy. Why is he talking sh#t to me? He’s over here telling me to go back to the f#%king WEC.
MMAWeekly: I hear that. Did you hit him first? Let me ask you that. Even though you were provoked, did you hit him first?
Diaz: Yea. I hit him first, but he was going to hit me. If I had of stood there, he would have hit me.
MMAWeekly: Okay.
Diaz: If I would have stood there in front of him, he would have hit me.
MMAWeekly: In a court of law, they’re probably going to harass you first because you threw the first punch. That’s all we’re saying. We want to see you fight. I don’t want to this stuff going on behind the scenes.
Diaz: It doesn’t go on behind the scenes because all I do is train at the gym. Where is this going to happen behind the scenes? He shouldn’t even have been at the hospital. Come on. He didn’t even have a big enough cut. What the hell was he doing at the hospital? What did he f#%king need, and IV? Are you f#%king kidding me. You know what I mean? I don’t know man. The fact of the matter is, if he didn’t grab the God d#%n fence like a bitch. If he didn’t grab the f#%king fence, he would have went down, got passed, and mounted on. I would have beat his ass, f#%king Arm Barred his ass.
MMAWeekly: So you feel that was the difference in the fight?
Diaz: That’s all there is to it. If he didn’t grab the fence, I would have finished him half way through the third round. That’s what was going to happen. He was on his way down. He grabbed the fence. There is no way he would have closed the guard on me. If he had of, I would have beat through that f#%king thing, passed his guard, mounted him, and beat him. It’s like, what the f#%k?
MMAWeekly: Thank you for giving your side of the story, and we appreciate that.
Diaz: I think they should deduct a round, the whole round from whoever grabs the fence. In Pride they deduct points. They yellow card you. You know what I mean?
MMAWeekly: It’s happened a few different times, from Tim Sylvia last month to this fight.
Diaz: They need to do something about it. And I was never in a bathroom with that guy. I was never in a restroom with Joe Riggs. I was never anywhere or anything like that with him.
MMAWeekly: Thank you for setting the record straight.
Diaz: Right on.
MMAWeekly: Talk to you soon.
Diaz: Take it easy.
MMAWeekly: Take care
